    That's been my luck here also. I stopped at a cabinet shop a while back and asked about scraps. I was told that they burn all theirs to heat the shop. Just about broke my heart. Jim

    That's going to be a real show piece. Can't wait to see the finished project. Jim

    If you have a program like Photoshop elements, you can go in and crop each item. Then save it under a new name. Jim

    Welcome from Montana. I'm currently working on a clock project, although not a big one. Gotta start small for my first. Can't wait to see pictures. Jim

    Welcome from NW Montana. Probably similar weather this time of year. Yep you're gonna love retirement. As I tell my kids, it doesn't matter which night I go to sleep, the next day is always Saturday. Jim

    Excellent work as usual Kev. Of course to make it a real AK experience, you'd have to do about 49 more in the same time frame. Jim

    Welcome to the forum. You'll find a lot of good advice from a lot of very proficient scrollers (not me). Hope to see some of your work. Jim

    My shop is heated solely by wood. This time of year it sometimes takes 45 minutes to an hour to get it warm. I have tried gloves of different types and have never had much luck. The loss of feeling makes me less sure in my turns. Guess I'll just plan a little more time in the winter before sitting down at the saw. Jim

    Looks great. Can't see where there's much else to do. Good job. Jim

    My last inlay, I used a 2/0 reverse (Olson). I still haven't figured out how to drill the starter hole in such a way that it doesn't show in the finished product. Trial and error I guess. Jim

    Welcome to the forum. As has been stated already, the amount of knowledge and expertise available is practically limitless. Also, there is no question that won't be answered multiple times (personal experience). A couple of things that I experienced when I began scrolling. First was quality of machine. I began with a bargain basement saw which was noisy and hard to obtain correct blade tension. Upgrading was the best thing that happened to me (it may or may not be a need or option). Secondly was blade selection. I never realized the wide variety of blade brands and types. It is so important to try a selection to find the brand and type which will work for you. This is the place to come for advice and opinions. Finally, starting out with relatively simple patterns will minimize the frustration component. There is a real satisfaction to finishing a piece correctly even if it doesn't include large amounts of delicate fretwork. Anyway, I hope it takes for you this time. It's a great way to spend a lot of time. Jim

    There's a kid with real talent. My kids and grandkids are always asking me what they can get me for Christmas, birthday, etc. I tell them, "Make me something, I don't care what it is." Very nice work. You must be very proud. Jim

    Welcome Apache. Nice to see another Montanan here on the site. I'm Jim from Kalispell. Lots of good information here. Many members have a world of experience and are willing to share.

    Can't imagine an internet address not being allowed. Jim

    Good work Kev, but the day is still young. I expect to see a tad more production between now and the beginning of the new year. Jim

    Great idea and excellent work. Jim

    Wow! That blade storage is pretty awesome looking. Regarding the dust collection, I think you've got a pretty good thing there. I'm saving my pennies for a real dust collection system rather than my shop vac. I'd like to be able to have the machinery off in the distance. Jim

    Both ways. Kind of ambidextrous. Jim
